This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘readBin()’ now warns if ‘signed = FALSE’ is used inappropriately (rather than being silently ignored).
It enforces the documented limit of 2^31-1 bytes in a single call.
‘postscript()’ now gives an error if asked to output a raster image of more than 21845 pixels (after interpolation), rather than producing a file which cannot be viewed.
